IT'S ALL FREE!!!!!!

While looking at an ad on craigslist this morning  I found an ad that said *It's all free* It made me stop and think about salvation. It's all free.
There is nothing we can do to earn salvation. We can't purchase it.  We can save ourselves. We don't deserve salvation. But, Jesus paid it all so that we can have salvation and eternal life.
We deserve eternal damnation but, because of Jesus taking our sins upon the cross. Because of Jesus being beaten and mocked and a crown of thorns placed upon his head and suffering and dieing  for us; it's all free to us.
Because of Jesus taking our place, and paying our price, we have salvation and eternal life. We have the right to go before the throne of God with our pleas.  We can count ourselves as royalty as children of God. It's all free; all we have to do is accept it and let Jesus into our hearts.
Can you imagine the kind of love that he has for us that he shed his own blood to lift the curse of sin and death off of us for all eternity.  Wow, it's so big it's hard to picture. but, yes folks he loves us that much.
So next time you see a sign that says it's all free stop and think of the real meaning of those words.
